A big program starts with a small file, which then grows in size as you keep adding more functions and objects. Most robot developers utilize include files to handle this problem. However, there is a better solution: start developing any trading application in a project. There are so many reasons to do so.

No. Unfortunately I don't have Windows 11, and I nerver heard about that issue.

What you could do is to copy you old folders in the new places. Not ideal but as the platform seem to start automatically in portable mode I don't see an other solution.

Ah...yes, you could also try a hardlink to the data folder.
